2012 Vancouver Pride Parade

I was commissioned by QMG (queermediagroup.com) to cover the Pride Parade this year.  Last year we had the abstracted parade route due to various awkward problems, but it was much better this year, going most of the full length around downtown.

 This dude was super stoked.

This one didn't want to dress up.

This is what the festival looked like.

The Verge: What is The Verge

The Verge is an independent web series being produced by James Choi.

Carole is a run of the mill, average girl living aimlessly in Terminal City.  When a mysterious stranger blackmails her in to committing murder, she finds out that she is naturally talented.  And that those she kill are more than human.

Animal Encounters: New Zealand Fur Seal

This is a short video about a New Zealand fur seal that I encountered in my work.  I was shooting a nature documentary and this was a solitary female New Zealand fur seal that was just sunbathing in a secluded cliff side beach.

New Zealand fur seals are a species of fur seals.  They have long flippers that lets them move very quickly on land, and are known to be quite aggressive to annoying humans.

When you encounter wildlife in nature, I recommend you leave them alone.  Approaching wild animals is quite intrusive and stressful (for them), and may be very dangerous if they decide to be aggressive.  The difference between a bro and me is that I have insurance coverage for dismemberment by wildlife.

See more photos of this fur seal at my FLICKR!

Runway at "ELEGANCE" by EVA CHEN

It was another event by Vernard Goud from LUVNGRACE Entertainment, and I was invited to shoot at the event.  Vernard's events always have all sorts of things going on, and involves a fusion of a variety of elements of culture and art.  Featuring Eva Chen's "Elegance" collection, commercial photographer Erich Saide, Golden Brush Art: Bill Higginson + Richard Ma and Diane Reyes + Carole Lagimodiere, Make Up Artist Alysia Hamilton, and a bunch of other people and things going on.

I haven't done any fashion shows in a long time since I was busy on assignments shooting film.  I even missed Vancouver Fashion Week this year, so I was looking forward to coming out to this.

Eva Chen's been showing for her awesome style at various events, so if you follow fashion you probably seen some of these already.

Included are a few photos from the event.
